Hey all, thank you for your prayers and support for our family and the church here in Konomala.  As we’ve said lots of times before, the day to day reality of life here can often feel profoundly repetitive and hard to measure in regards to the typical “meaningful” stuff that we so often hope to … More Funerals & Phones

Hey friends!  Thank you for praying for us here in Konomala. We are so needy for God’s loving grace, guidance, and power as we fight the spiritual battles happening in and around us. It’s often a bit of a staring contest with the computer screen when it comes time to update you all about what’s happening … More Perspective Pauses
